Hundreds of nurses were educated on the dangerous side effects of psychiatric drugs as part of a campaign to restore human rights and dignity to the field of mental health.
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) of Florida, a non-profit mental health watchdog dedicated to investigating and exposing abusive and fraudulent psychiatric practices in the mental health industry, unveiled a new exhibit during the spring American Nursing Association Conference in Kissimmee calling for the restoration of human rights and dignity in the field of mental health.
The annual nationwide conference welcomed over 1,000 nurses to the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center where CCHR Florida’s exhibit showcased its hard hitting message: “Restoring Human Rights Dignity in the Field of Mental Health.” During the 3 day conference, hundreds of nurses approached CCHR’s booth to ask questions, read displays, and take home educational materials which expose the dangers of psychiatric drugs, as well as sexual abuse committed by psychiatrists on patients including children. With the Parkland, FL shooting still fresh in America’s mind — and more accompanying research arising that brings attention to the apparent link between psychotropic drugs and violence [1] — CCHR wasted no time giving nurses valuable information on what is happening today in mental health.
“The nurses we spoke with during this conference all agreed that psychiatric drugs and associated treatments are overused and even abused,” said Diane Stein, President of CCHR Florida.
Even nurses who believed in psychiatric drugging admitted that psychiatric drugs fail to address the root psychological problem in the mentally ill. Moreover, these nurses agreed that due to the laundry list of alarming side effects these dangerous drugs could exacerbate already fragile mental conditions and cause further damage.
CCHR is offering free printed copies of educational materials on the dangers associated with antidepressants, antipsychotics and other psychiatric drugs to nurses, doctors and healthcare professionals across the country.

About CCHR: Initially established by the Church of Scientology and renowned psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz in 1969, CCHR’s mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections. It was L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, who brought the terror of psychiatric imprisonment to the notice of the world. In March 1969, he said, “Thousands and thousands are seized without process of law, every week, over the ‘free world’ tortured, castrated, killed. All in the name of ‘mental health.’” For more information visit, www.cchrflorida.org
